I really like the layout of the room and the cool lighting. The staff was super friendly. But unfortunately the place was a little disappointing. The TV's remote didnt fully work. We were unable to get the HDMI comnected and then the tvs quality decreased make it extremely hard to watch the TV. Stayed friday to Saturday and was woken up at 730am/8am due to the construction happening. I wish i had at least made known when i checked in that there would be LOUD construction happening outside.

The room was quite dirty when we arrived. Dirt and crumbs all over the floor, and even a dirty rag left on the floor. I immediately went to the front desk and they guy came and looked and said because our bags were in the room, we had “used the room” and he couldn’t do anything at all. No moving rooms, no discount, but didn’t even offer for it to be cleaned! Left the dirty rag, all the crumbs, and basically told us off. Then, they started doing construction outside our room at 7:30am. No warning that any construction would be taking place. Worst stay ever.

A for effort-worked with what they’ve got-friendly

The service was very friendly. The condition of the hotel was old but they did try as far as effort in making it nice. It smelled old and the outside and environment was pretty run down. I don’t want to be fully negative though because there was definitely an effort made inside the room and it was clean overall as far as the linens and housekeeping. The neighborhood for sure had a definite sketchy feel for example lots of people just outside and wandering, caged in and broken bending machines etc. I was only there by myself on business so it was a place to sleep for me and that was what I needed. Would I want to bring my wife and kids? No. But if you want an affordable room that’s midpoint this is a decent choice.

No one at service desk, had to call a number to talk to someone, they put my deposit through credit card, now it posted exchanged from can dollars to US dollars with the exchange fee. Why not just pre authorize then hold till check out then cancel like everyone else for Pete’s sake. Now I have to wait for a refund that will probably cost me more money with exchange rates and fees. Not happy with poor customer service
